FileRenamer v2
Easily renaming files for lazy people
FileRenamer v3
The FileRenamer project has been idle for a very long time. But there might be some changes soon.
As I am starting to write a small batch tagging program in Java, I might think about making a new version of FileRenamer all in Java.
I do not promise anything, but who knows what time will bring.
About FileRenamer v2
One day, when I had nothing to do, I decided to make FileRenamer. It started as a project to make sorting my audio easier.
FileRenamer v1 (okay, at that time it didn't have a major version in its name, but it was my first major version), did what I wanted it to do.
But as it was the first time I made a program that did this, I made everything while learning how it was to be done.
This meant that there was little structure in the code, and when something was wrong, fixing it seemed like impossible.
Adding other functions was a hell too. That's when I started FileRenamer v2, which did exactly the same, but had a more structured code.
Well, it's still a mess. But this time a mess in which I can find my way pretty good.
This all is of no importance to you, what counts for you is what FileRenamer v2 does.
FileRenamer is a program that can rename files based upon several rules you give it.
Its interface is quite simple, but there is a documentation on how everything works on this site, if something might be unclear.
Please note that FileRenamer v2 is a beta version of just a simple project and that there might always be bugs in it.
If you encounter one, feel free to contact me at thonoht<at>thonoht<dot>com.
